Bucking and the rodeo events that accompany It Is about the most popular spectator sport in the country. That means It draws about the most people to watch It Not many folks want to board one of those bucking horses when he rares around 4Jn the chute, bawling a little and trying to find some one close so he can stick his foot in a human face. They are unpleasant characters at such times. There’s really not many folks who become participants in this rodeo game and even the biggest shows have a comparatively small cast. It is a risky business. ' Take a look at Bob Erzler who is leaving Banjo by the air route, y e looks as If he were flying but will probably hit the ground ker plunk in a * second and that white shirt will need a washing and Bob will need a new start of air for breathing. here. And there’s alwayB a bunch of men who don’t care Ipr broken arms or legs or necks who will ride them for glory and honor and a few bucks. " Bucking is one pursuit at which little practice is- obtained. I t 'U like parachute jumping. If you’re not good at it you only last a couple of seconds and if you are good you can get maybe ten sec onds of practice. The guy who needs it the worst gets the least But it does beat the deuce (not a very high card) how much a man can learn in five seconds. Win Powers has gone to driv ing tractor and herding cows In stead of following the buckers around the season and maybe Sure, there’ll be bucking and rodeo events at the Sherman county fair, it is a habit. The spectators demand it. The board provides it Mack Barbour is bringing his string of bucking horses down from the Lewiston show7. Some of them were at the Pendleton Round-Up where they were found tough. Some of the riders will come, too so you will be see in;; much the same show as If you had driven three hundred miles. There will be calf roping and bull dogging and bull riding and bareback riding, and all will be sandwiched in between the horse races to fill up the afternoon. Yoy know, even people who say they don’t like bucking yell just like any one else when a rider balances on thin air a mo ment and no can tell whether the horse is going to be there you wouldn’t wonder when you «• see what sometimes happens to. / a man on the brokep neck cir c u it Win was going ashore from the deck as the picture was snapped and not In the best naval tradition. But he got there. Oh, Yes, there’s something do ing at the Sherman Fair and it’s good. ** . Get you a good comfortable 1 seat when you come, one from whjere you can see all the chutes (most seats are like that) and you’ll be In for a good afternoon. Better arrange to have some pleasant person in front of you, someone who won’t object If you do a little kicking and a lot of yelling. Because you’re going to be excited. when he comes down again or not. And when the rider loses his balance or lets his head begin to bob there is a thrill that they all feel even if their favorite game is Tiddly-winks. Now there’s Numa McOoin sit ting up there like he was riding a merry-go-round horse. The- sailing through the air isn’t the worst part of it, the boys say; It is the stopping. That’s like a lot of other things easy to start and hard to stop. Rodeb events at the Sherman county fair have helped make the fair’s fine record for enter tainment because the quality of them has been so uniformly good. There’s good horses (you under stand that a good rodeo horse would bite your head off), horses that appear in the best shows So w hy shouldn’t they appear orse Races= Rodeo=CattIe& Horse Exhibits 4-H Club Demonstrations-Carnival-Wheat, Fruit, Vegetable Exhibits-Crochet Contest
